However, I also dispute Lincoln did not wish to end slavery. He did, however, understand the dangers the nation faced over the issue and would have saved the union first. Who knows how he would have dealt with the issues post war? We will never know because he was murdered by a scumbag.
Please answer post 41.
Scumbag to some.....Booth made a big mistake by not taking out Lincoln in 1861.
you need to do some history, he said in a speech that he had no interest in freeing the slaves and even if he did he believed he had no power to do so.
plus the biggest trade in those days up north was slave ship building.
Please Please do some history on this before you make assumptions based on nothing but your own beliefs and some would say ignorance, though I will not go that far.
